We’re an early‑stage startup on a mission to help schools simplify compliance and safeguarding through smarter technology. Our software streamlines Single Central Record (SCR) management — saving school administrators hours of manual work, reducing human error, and ensuring full compliance with Ofsted and safeguarding regulations.

With 80% of schools relying on manual, time‑intensive spreadsheets to manage their vetting records, School SCR is set to transform the sector and is already one of the most exciting back‑office solutions in the UK EdTech space. Receiving regular inbound enquiries and sales, School SCR already has schools across the country and in Europe.

We’re growing and partnering with Baltic Ventures to hire a driven, mission‑aligned Sales Development Representative (SDR) . You’ll be one of the first hires in our commercial team, a key player in driving growth and shaping how we build relationships with schools nationwide.

School SCR’s mission is to become the standard compliance layer for all 32,000+ English schools, improving safety, transparency, and efficiency in education.

The role

As our Sales Development Representative , you’ll be the first point of contact for inbound and outbound leads. Your job is to connect with prospective customers, build rapport, and book online demos with our co‑founder.
